The Twelve Days of Christmas

Brett Riley had a plan to escape Christmas. A road trip to Vegas. He thought it would be the perfect way to avoid painful memories he associated with the holiday--a pain that had grown as the years passed, especially now that he was retired from the military and living alone. Brett hadn't anticipated meeting Grace on the first day of his trip, an intriguing hitchhiker he picked up in a rest stop, who over the next twelve days would help him come to terms with his past and discover the true meaning of Christmas.
